考虑到2024年印度和美国的双边贸易额约为1290亿美元，占印度经济的比重不容小视，所以不管特朗普用什么理由对印度加征关税，莫迪政府都不可能对此 忍气吞声。特朗普宣布这一消息后不久，印度商务和工业部即发表声明，重申印度愿意与美国达成公平、平衡、互利的双边贸易协定，但也会采取一切必要 措施保护印度的国家利益。 特朗普宣布对印度加征25%关税，印度对此作何反应？ 经过一番紧赶慢赶，特朗普政府终究还是在8月1日之前敲定了对主要贸易伙伴的"对等关税"。那些已经与美国达成协议的国家，美国对他们的关税维持在 15%上下，并要求这些国家在其他领域给予美国特殊地位，比如"零关税"、扩大进口美国产品等等。而没有与美国达成贸易协议的国家，特朗普则搞起了区 别对待，加征的关税各不相同，但均高于15%，首当其冲的便是印度。 据观察者网7月31日报道，特朗普在社交媒体上宣布，将从8月1日起对印度输美商品征收25%的关税，并实施其他"惩罚"。结果不久之后，特朗普又单独发 帖抱怨，称"美国与印度之间存在巨大的贸易逆差"。 但实事求是地讲，贸易逆差并不是特朗普对印度加征这笔关税的唯一原因。他自己明确表示，印度一直以来都从俄罗斯购买绝大多数军 ...

美国财政部长斯科特·贝森特（Scott Bessent）警告，华盛顿可能对印度加征次级关税。 他表示，这一决定将取决于美国总统特朗普周五在阿拉斯加与俄罗斯总统普京会面的结果。 "我们已因印度购买俄罗斯石油对其加征次级关税。我认为，若事态进展不顺，制裁或次级关税可能会 升级，"贝森特周三在接受彭博电视采访时表示。 本月早些时候，特朗普已对印度加征25%的惩罚性关税，并以印度从俄罗斯购买石油和武器为由加征 25%的关税。 美国一直在努力斡旋俄罗斯与乌克兰的停火。周三，特朗普警告称，若莫斯科不同意和平协议，将面 临"严重后果"。 特朗普与普京定于周五在安克雷奇会面，讨论如何结束俄乌冲突。 2024年，俄罗斯石油占印度原油进口量的35%至40%，而2021年这一比例仅为3%。 印度为其购买俄罗斯石油辩护，称作为主要能源进口国，必须购买价格最低的原油，以保护数百万印度 穷人免受成本上涨的影响。 在威胁对印度加征关税的前一天（周二），贝森特在接受福克斯商业频道采访时称印度在贸易谈判 中"有点固执"。 特朗普表示，他的关税政策是政府提振美国经济、实现全球贸易公平计划的一部分。 他多次称印度为"关税滥用者"，并急于缩减与这个 ...

然而，这种"交易"背后有一个重要前提，那就是美国必须放弃当前的关税政策。一方面对中国实施高额关税，另一方面又希望中国加大对美农产品的进口， 这显然是不现实的。中国的立场非常明确，只有当中美双方都能以理性的态度对待贸易差异时，才能实现互利共赢。在特朗普的第一个任期内，中美曾经交 锋过一次，现阶段中国不太可能再做出让步。特朗普需要意识到，关税政策对美国农业造成的短期痛苦与长期结构性损害是极为严峻的。尽管政府通过补贴 方式缓解了部分压力，但成本上涨、出口萎缩、市场份额流失以及国际反制等问题依然存在，难以根治。 在美国当地时间8月10日，特朗普在自己创立的社交媒体"真相社交"上发布了相关信息，他提到："中国对大豆的短缺问题表示担忧。我们的农民生产出了最 优质的大豆。"特朗普还呼吁中国迅速将大豆的采购订单增加三倍，他认为这是减少中美贸易逆差的有效方式。为显示他的诚意，特朗普强调美国农民的高 效生产能力，保证能够快速满足订单需求。 这一声明深刻反映了当前美国农民的困境，他们的农产品因关税政策而面临滞销，难以寻找到合适的买家。印 度不愿意对美国开放市场，根本原因在于印度总理莫迪不敢得罪当地农民，因为这可能会使他面临下台的风 ...
